The Health (Family Planning) (Amendment) Act, 1985, removed most of the serious anomalies relating to the provision of family planning services. I am aware of the remaining anomaly to which the Deputy refers. While I wish to see that anomaly removed, I am not in a position to say when the necessary legislation might be introduced.
